Of all of the models of kitchen hobs available, we’ve found that our Neff induction hob is one of the most popular options with our customers in some of our most recent exciting projects. We can see why – it’s a marvellous piece of technology, and it provides some fantastic benefits to casual and professional cooks alike.
First thing’s first; before we go into too much detail, we’ll lay out exactly what an induction hob is, and how it works. You already know the principles of a gas hob: you switch on the gas and a spark ignites it, producing a flame that heats the pan and cooks your food. Well, an induction hob uses a different method entirely.
Instead of using open flames, an induction hob appears as a smooth glass surface, upon which pots and pans are placed. Underneath this glass surface is an electromagnetic coil. We won’t go into too much of the physics behind it, but essentially, turning on the coil creates a magnetic field. When a pan is set down on the induction hob, the metal conducts the magnetic field, which is then converted to heat.
Essentially, this means that rather than needing time to warm up, the induction hob only generates heat for as long as the pan is down on the surface. As soon as the pan is removed or the zone is switched off, the heat stops immediately. It’s a fascinating design, and as you can imagine it provides some quite unique advantages!
Because every available scrap of heat is being focused straight into the pan, it means that the pan itself heats up a lot faster, which is always handy in a pinch! That means even less time waiting for the water to boil before you can get a delicious meal down on the table. What’s more, there’s almost no wasted energy, making the induction hob a lot more efficient than other models.
The design of an induction hob means that you don’t have to wait a few moments for the hob to heat up and cool down to your desired temperature once you’ve turned the controls. Instead, the induction hob immediately adjusts its power output to wherever you need it to be, giving it a much higher level of responsiveness than some alternatives.
As we’ve explained above, the heat only lasts for as long as the pan is connected with the surface; once the pan is lifted, it’s only the utensil itself that remains hot. This is always excellent news for casual and professional cooks alike, as there’s a minimum chance of burns during and after cooking. If you live in a busy family household, there are even additional safety features that you can buy such as child safety locks, which further protects vulnerable members of your household from injury.
One of the things our customers love most about the Neff induction hob is its sleek, stylish look. Because all the actual nuts and bolts are hidden beneath the surface, it gives your kitchen worktops a clean, uncluttered appearance, which fits in perfectly with a streamlined contemporary kitchen. Having said that, they work equally well in a number of other kitchen styles, too – just have a look at our case studies to see what we mean!

AWARD-WINNING KITCHENS FOR AN AWARD-WINNING DEVELOPER
As you may know if you’ve visited any of our showrooms in Manchester, Blackburn, Liverpool or Barrowford, we manage more than 250 kitchen projects each year here at Kitchen Design Centre. Many of these kitchens are for individual customers, but we also specialise in providing exceptional designer kitchens to housebuilders and developers. We have a particularly successful longstanding relationship with Candelisa, a prestigious Yorkshire-based property developer that is (like us) known for the peerless quality of its designs.
The company already has an impressive array of awards on its shelves, and its team have recently managed to secure their latest accolade: the Best High Volume New Housing Development at the prestigious LABC Awards!
In case you need a quick refresher, the LABC Awards are the largest business-to-business awards in the UK’s building control sector, aimed at celebrating and rewarding building projects, and the people behind them. The Best High Volume New Housing Development in question was Candelisa’s project at Countyfields, Embsay. Due to our strong relationship with the company (largely through Simon Thomas, the head of our Barrowford showroom), Kitchen Design Centre was chosen to deliver every kitchen at the Embsay development – and like Candelisa’s team, we’re hugely proud of the results.

A CLASSIC SHAKER STYLE KITCHEN FOR A CHESHIRE
HOME
When Louise and Stuart renovated and extended their Wilmslow home they visited several local kitchen companies but were keen to get exactly what they wanted and researched companies with large showrooms located slightly further afield.
Kitchen Design Centre popped up on google and they were delighted to find that were open on a Sunday and that being located at Housing Units Failsworth, they were only a 20-minute drive away.
They were amazed by the showroom and how many full-size displays there were. They were equally impressed with Designer Paul Harrington who spent a great deal of time listening to what they wanted and going through various options and designs with them.
